further conditions of admission to study are specified as follows:

a) The exam in the Czech language is to be taken by candidates who have not taken a
“maturita” exam in the Czech or the Slovak languages. This exam includes a written and an
oral test verifying the knowledge of the basic terminology in chemistry and mathematics,
both at the B2 level according to the Common European Reference Framework. The
candidates who prove having passed an exam in the Czech language at the Institute of
Language and Professional Preparation of Charles University or at the Institute of the Czech
Language of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic at the language level B2 with the
result at least 70 % are to sit only for the oral part of the exam. The exam is organized by the
Department of Languages of UCT Prague and it is considered as successfully passed if the
student reaches at least 70 % (average of the results of written and oral parts).
b) Talent exam for candidates for study in the four-year bachelor study programme
Conservation and Restauration of Cultural Heritage Objects. The exam according to
specilization is organized by partner higher professional schools and the classification is
based on the grades used in secondary school classification.

2. In case of candidates under Section 1, in determining the order of candidates, only those will be
taken into account who have successfully met the other admission requirement, i.e. the Czech
language exam and/or the talent exam.

3. In compliance with Article 2 paragraph 6 of the internal regulation, the criteria for determining the
order of the best candidates shall be as follows:
The criterion for determining the order of the best candidates is the average of marks in the
subjects Chemistry and Mathematics on the annual school reports of the three pre-final years and
on the semi-annual report of the final year of the secondary school (eight marks in total). If the
candidate does not have the sufficient number of marks in these subjects, the missing marks are
taken from other subjects of natural sciences (e.g. Physics or Biology); in case of candidates for
study in the bachelor study programme Conservation – restoration of works of art and craft, the
missing marks are taken from the subjects related to the selected study programme, usually
subjects focused on the history of art. If necessary, the Dean sets forth which other subjects are to
be included in the average.

4. In case of candidates who must comply with the other condition for admission under Section 1
